... Flash Flood Watch in effect from Saturday afternoon through
Saturday evening...
The National Weather Service in Las Vegas has issued a
* Flash Flood Watch for portions of northwest Arizona...
California and Nevada... including the following areas... in
northwest Arizona... Lake havasu and Fort Mohave... Lake Mead
National Recreation Area... northwest deserts and northwest
plateau. In California... Cadiz basin... eastern Mojave Desert...
morongo basin and San Bernardino County-upper Colorado River
valley. In Nevada... Lake Mead National Recreation Area... Las
Vegas Valley... Lincoln County... northeast Clark County and
southern Clark County.
* From Saturday afternoon through Saturday evening
* scattered thunderstorms... some producing locally heavy
rain... are expected over portions of Lincoln... Mohave... Clark... and
eastern San Bernardino counties on Saturday afternoon and into
the evening. A significant amount of moisture is expected to
move into the area late tonight and through the day on
Saturday... which will combine with an unstable airmass and
steering winds that are either light or conducive to repeated
development of storms over the same area. This will result in
favorable conditions for flash flooding.
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation
and persons in the watch area should be alert to the potential
for heavy rainfall and be prepared to take quick action and move
to higher ground.
